Vintage Market Brings Nostalgia, Unique Finds To Tinley Park Brewery

TINLEY PARK, IL — Soundgrowler Brewing and the Streetz Artz Alliance are teaming up again to bring the community a one-of-a-kind shopping experience with The Vintage Market at Soundgrowler.

Set for Saturday, March 1 from 12 to 5 p.m., kicks off first Streetz Artz Alliance events at Soundgrowler (8201 183rd St.) this year, promising a vibrant mix of vintage treasures, repurposed art, delicious tacos, and handcrafted goods from over three dozen artists and vendors.

Guests can expect vintage clothing, home décor, upcycled art, repurposed vintage lamps, glassware, books, vinyl records, comics, and more. Bakers will also bring old-world flavors to life, including Cookie’s Gluten-Free Kitchen, which will be celebrating its one-year anniversary with classic treats such as kolacky, apple fritters, peanut butter cookies, rhubarb cookies, and old-fashioned lemon cookies.

"Vintage clothing, repurposed jewelry, nostalgic decor, themed artwork, treats, and more will make this the Streetz Artz Alliance version of a Vintage Market," said John E. Streetz, head of the Streetz Artz Alliance and event organizer. "Several Streetz Artz Alliance favorites will be here, including KP's Candy Factory, Ten Cups Tarot, DK Custom Woodworking, Wanna Pickle, and Belonio Doodles."

Bret Juliano, owner of Dust Bunny Mafia, shared a sneak peek at an original piece of art he created specifically for the event’s themes.

"Just wrapped up this new piece—Public Enemy No. 1, the original Scarface himself, Al Capone," Juliano said. "This one’s a little different from my usual all-digital work, as I’ve been experimenting with traditional art techniques. Couldn’t resist trying something new before bringing Dust Bunny Mafia merch to the upcoming Vintage Market at Soundgrowler Brewing Co. on Saturday, March 1."
